(As a past host myself, I know that this is an exciting and rewarding opportunity to make a major contribution to the community!)

If you and/or colleagues would like to host the next workshop, or think this sounds interesting and would like to know more, please send a brief email as an "Expression of Interest" to the new chair of the SPARS Steering Committee, Jalal Fadili <Jalal.Fadili@ensicaen.fr>.

Full details are not required at this stage, but as much of the following information (if known) would be helpful:

* Proposed location / venue

* Names of organizers

* Suggested dates

* Funding strategy

* Other information if available (accommodation options, travel, costs, other special features)

* Abstract 'only': SPARS is primarily intended to be a forum for exchanges at the frontier between applied math and electrical engineering. To accommodate the different publishing cultures of these communities, SPARS13 only requested a mandatory 1-page abstract, but full papers were not required. The organizers of the next edition are free to consider optional proceedings for authors who would wish to provide an extended paper.

* Funding: Bidders should show that they can provide / have applied for a grant to support the organization of the event.

* Accessibility & affordability: ease of access and affordability may be preferred to fancy locations.

* Timing: time conflicts with other sparsity related workshops such as SaMPTA, SPIE Wavelets&Sparsity, etc. should be avoided if possible.
